I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed

of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. Which phrase from the excerpt uses informal English?

The last sentence is very formal. It does not contain the first person pronoun (I or me) which is one of the marks of informal writing. Having given you the answer, may I say  that question is almost totally irrelevant. I do not mean that you are at fault for having asked it. You are only asking for an answer, and that was given.

What I really mean to say is that I hope you get to read more of Amy Tan's remarks about her mother's English. They are astonishing observations and should be required reading by every student taking English or American Literature.

Thank you for posting this question. I didn't there was more to Tan's essay about her mother's English that I didn't know about, and I'm glad to know there is more.

How has todays technology blurred the lines between whats public and what's private

Well, not only is our data bought and sold, It is also used without consent. The key to stealing data is technology, most data is input through some sort of technology. Whether it be someone entering their DOB on a website, or using their credit card for an online purchase. There are some sites that have even confirmed selling their member's data. As to why they do it? I'm not sure, some people believe it's to pander or better aim future products at individuals.
